Install Xposed Framework & Modules on Android 5.1 Lollipop

If you have an Android device running on 5.1 Lollipop, you can now install and use Xposed framework to enable your favorite modules. A few months back, we talked how the creator of Xposed managed to finally release the framework for Android 5.0 Lollipop devices. It took a long time for the developer to release it because Lollipop was a much bigger update and changes made in ART made things a lot harder.

Once the Xposed framework was released for Android 5.0 Lollipop, developers quickly started updating their modules to support the latest version. If you are interested, there is an article about some of the most useful and best Xposed modules for Android 5.0 Lollipop.

However, one month later Google announced Android 5.1, the biggest update that Lollipop has ever seen. Since the update brought many changes, Xposed was broken as a result of under-the-hood changes. The founder of the framework is working hard to officially release a build for Android 5.1.

Until then, member “romracer”, with permission from the original founder is creating its own work of Xposed framework to work on Android 5.1 Lollipop devices. The new build is entirely based on original Xposed files. The only difference is that this variant works on Android 5.1 in comparison to the original one that only works on Android 5.0.

How To Install Xposed framework on Android 5.1 & Enable Modules

Note: You must be on Android 5.1 Lollipop. Do not try this guide if you are running Android 5.0. Follow this guide instead. Also, you must have a custom recovery installed. At the moment, Xposed does not work on Samsung-based Touchwiz ROMs.

Downloads

There are two main files that you need in order to install Xposed on Android 5.1.

That is not the fault of the framework. GravityBox and many other modules have yet to be updated to support Android 5.1.

ROP

I didn’t blame the framework (even though this is not an official Xposed release). I just thought it would be useful to, at least, warn people before they’d jump in and run into trouble. And many will.
